'The Mindy Project' (Sept. 25; Fox)

NBC

The first episode's a bit uneven, and the whole not-exactly-novel premise (an OB/GYN deals with work and life issues) really depends on whether you like Mindy Kaling's brand of quirky/awkward/dorky humor. For the record, we do, and we're excited to see "The Office" star/scribe get her own starring gig. Pencil this comedy in as the one that will surely grow over the season.
